Falcon 8x

The Dassault Falcon 8X is the ultra-long-range tri-jet that covers 6,450 nautical miles, and for Mexico charter it is the Falcon that handles everything from short corporate hops to near-transatlantic legs on a single airframe. The three-engine architecture and Dassault short-field DNA make it one of the more practical aircraft for Toluca’s high-altitude environment.

Dassault delivered the first Falcon 8X in 2016, stretching the Falcon 7X airframe and fitting larger fuel tanks with three Pratt and Whitney Canada PW307D turbofans and EASy II avionics. The cabin seats 12 in a typical three-zone configuration, up to 16 at maximum density. Overall length is 80.3 feet with a 86.3-foot wingspan. Full specifications for the Dassault Falcon 8x are published by Dassault Falcon.

Why the Dassault Falcon 8x Fits Mexico

The tri-jet architecture is the practical advantage at Toluca. Three engines carry more thrust per pound of fuel in a high-altitude departure scenario, and the Falcon short-field certification carries through to the 8X. On a warm afternoon departure from Toluca at 8,460 feet, a Falcon 8X will compute a more comfortable performance margin than a twin-engine aircraft of similar range. The crew still completes hot-and-high calculations for every trip.

At 6,450 nautical miles, the Falcon 8X covers Mexico City to London with payload margin, and all US corporate and leisure corridors without range becoming a factor. Mexico City to New York at roughly 2,200 nautical miles, Monterrey to Houston at under 500 nautical miles, Cancun to New York at roughly 1,600 nautical miles: the aircraft handles the full range of Mexico charter demand on a single platform.

The 51,000-foot certified ceiling on the Falcon family is the other practical advantage on Mexico routes: at altitude, the aircraft flies above most weather that affects lower-ceiling jets. On Caribbean routes from Mexico, that matters more in summer convective season than it does in winter.

Vetting Behind Every Trip

Every operator, aircraft, and crew goes through our internal due diligence before we present any options. Our internal standards meet or exceed what the FAA requires:

  • FAR Part 135 charter operators for traditional private aircraft, or FAR Part 121 for airliner-size and group trips (or the foreign equivalent on international legs)
  • Operator subscription to Wyvern and ARGUS reviewed where the operator participates; reports may be provided on request.
  • Pilot experience and operator incident history reviewed before we recommend an aircraft.
  • Fewer than 60 brokers worldwide hold Premium Wyvern Broker Member status, and Air Charter Advisors is one of them.

Charter Pricing Reference

Industry hourly rates for the Dassault Falcon 8x run $14,000 to $17,000 per hour as of 7/2026. Actual quotes vary by operator, routing, positioning, and date.

At $14,000 to $17,000 per hour, the Falcon 8X overlaps with the Gulfstream G650 and Global 6500, and the tri-jet architecture is the deciding factor for operators who prioritize hot-and-high performance.
